Because they wanted to establish peace without using chaotic methods
How many countries have nukes that can travel all across the World?
Only 2 countries have nukes that can travel all across the World. Russia and The United States of America.
What are harmful causes of nuclear weapons?

Can a woodlouse survive a nuclear explosion?
Sounds like a good effects experiment. Obtain one nuclear bomb of known yield and a few million woodlice. Place a sample of lice on each point of a grid centered on surface zero. Detonate the bomb at a selected height/depth. Wait for fallout cloud to leave area of grid, then collect your samples and count living and dead in each. Map this data. Periodically repeat the sample counts and mappings.
Certainly a better experiment than using people or pigs in military uniforms as subjects.
How many countries have detonated nuclear weapons?
USA
Soviet Union
France
UK
China
India
Pakistan
North Korea
Only 2 in war though by USA, all others in tests.
Is nuke boosting in modern warfare 2 illegal?
no it is not illegal. it simply pisses people off. i suggest using a silenced weapon, one man army, cold blooded, ninja. you obviously also need tactical insertions
How do you get the nuke on Skies of War?
To get the nuke you must have the full version, and complete the sixth or seventh mission, so go ahead and try it out! I have also found a way to get money, open cheat engine, times your money by 8, put that in cheat engine, choose size as double, scan and then make all the options to your desire (It only works if you have over 1000 money.) I hope that this worked!
Do you get nukes in Call of Duty Black Ops?
No, sorry. They have a map called Nuketown, which is based off of old nuclear testing sights, that gets blown up at the end of every match you play but you can't use any nuke's like in MW2.
What is the idea of mutually assured destruction?
Mutually Assured Destruction is the concept that if someone attacks another they would respond by totally destroying the aggressor, but in the process of doing the destruction the original aggressor would be forced to totally destroy their original victim. Its acronym of MAD is very appropriate as it is mad to be the first aggressor as it would result in their own destruction.
It is appropriate with respect to nuclear weapons as superpowers have enough of such weapons to totally destroy the others, and so none would start a nuclear war (to destroy someone) because the other side could/would respond in an equally destructive manner (destroying them).
Can a ex-felon work at a nuke plant?
There are only two conditions in which you're an ex-felon:
- You were convicted of something which was only a felony under state law, and not under federal law, and have since applied for and have received relief of disability.
- You were convicted of a felony, and the convicted was later overturned, meaning you're no longer a felon.
If you've been convicted of a felony, and neither of the above apply to you, then you are not an ex-felon - you are a felon, and will be for life. A job at a nuclear power plant is not an option.
The cold war has come and gone, but the weapons that caused the cold war still remain. In the 1960s , every person of age living in the world was aware of the threat that Nuclear Weapons posed. The world was in such a tense state that Nuclear drills were as common as Tornado drills. This was with only the United States and Russia having Nukes.
Today, there are quite a few countries with nuclear weapons. It might surprise some people that India and Pakistan both have Nukes. Of course North Korea has nuclear weapons now as well as Isreal. It looks like the world has to prepare for Nuclear Iran in the future as well.
Most people don't know the stakes anymore. For instance, 1000 Nuclear weapons can end life on earth. Both the US and Russia have enough weapons to do this. 1000 Nukes can create a global Nuclear Winter and life would wither away and the earth's atmosphere would change.
To keep it short.... We created a weapon that can end our time on the greatest planet on earth. Its not really about war. Its about the wrong people getting their hands on Nuclear arsenals.... Mistakes, computer errors.. etc. We've come closer to Nuclear war than many people know.
Watch the video above and see how close we've come to all out destruction.
Can nukes destroy the whole entire planet?
No, current nuclear weapons do not have the capability to destroy the entire planet. However, they can cause catastrophic damage over a large area, leading to severe environmental consequences and loss of life. The concept of a "nuclear winter" resulting from massive nuclear exchanges could have global impacts on climate and ecosystems.
Does Democratic Republic Of Congo have nuclear weapons?
no (at least not that we know of). However their uranium resources have been utilized in the manufacturing nuclear weapons (though the mine that supplied uranium has been closed since 1960). There are some concerns of illegal mining activity, but they do not pose a major threat in the issue of nuclear programs. Democratic Republic of the Congo signed the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty, the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and also has signed but not yet ratified the African Nuclear Weapons Free Zone (Treaty of Pelindaba).
just google it (:
What is the element uranium used for in warfare?
- Depleted Uranium, 0.2% U-235 99.8% U-238: Armor piercing antitank Gatling gun bullets and tank armor plate
- Highly Enriched Uranium, 93.5% U-235 6.5% U-238: Fission bomb cores
- Reactor Produced Uranium, <50PPM U-232 100% U-233: Fission bomb cores
- Natural Uranium, 0.7% U-235 99.3% U-238: Fission bomb tampers
- Depleted Uranium, 0.2% U-235 99.8% U-238: Fission bomb tampers
- Natural Uranium, 0.7% U-235 99.3% U-238: Fusion bomb tampers
- Depleted Uranium, 0.2% U-235 99.8% U-238: Fusion bomb tampers and radiation channel guides
- Depleted Uranium, 0.2% U-235 99.8% U-238: Fertile material in production reactors to make Plutonium-239
- etc.
Yes but hard to destroy them. Nukes cannot be shot down if they are in space but they can be shot down in the earth.
The atom bomb was invented in ww2 for 2 reasons. 1 was the united state correctly thought that the Naziswere developing a nuclear weapon. The other reason was the US. wanted a quick end to the war in japan that did not have to do with an invasion of the Japanese home islandswhich would of cost millions of lives on both sides
Can a nuclear weapon reach US soil?
Yes it can. The distance from Russia to the U.S is 9000km, r-36 Russian missile could travel 16000km in 30mins(and it is a 1967 one).
